Signal Relocation
I purchased a batwing fairing for my Sport Glide. Has anyone relocated their signals without doing a cut and splice? If so I'd appreciate knowing how you did it. I've searched and it looks like there maybe a molex connection under the tank that I might be able to depin in order to pull wires through bars.
Thanks

I lift the front of the tank to get to the junction block under the rubber boot. Unplug the two turn signal plugs. There is a small trap door on top of the plug I lift and work the wires through, and pull back the rubber gasket, save the little white dummy pin. Some people just cut the hinge on the trap door to make it easier.
I use a small safety pin (not jewelers screwdriver) to unlatch the tang while using a bit of tension on the wire to feel when it is free. Be gentle with the pin, you'll feel when you have ahold of the tang you need to lift. Take pictures to keep track of pin location in the plugs. This diagram helped me the most to understand the working of the plug and pins:

Thanks much. That's what I was expecting but not sure. I plan on keeping the signal wires the original length in case I decide the batwing doesn't live up to expectations and I decide to put signals back to the original location.
